Editing Failing Witch:Volume1 Appendix (section)

===Second Quiz===

Question: Fill in the blanks to explain what magical methods the human Myousou Yagoro used to defeat the Sassafras Cfa Preparatory School aces – Arbamini, Holibre, and Lampans. (10 points per blank, 100 points total)



We will only be focusing on what I did against the Sassafras Cfa trio. Let’s look at it piece by piece.

The Aspect of Antiquity was the mandragora. You die if you hear its ('''scream''') when it is uprooted, but you can remain safe by tying a rope to a dog and uprooting it that way. Simply put, you can avoid the danger using ('''distance'''). That said, I was stuck in a fixed location, so I had to use a different method to avoid hearing the sounds and voices even at a short distance. For example, I could drown out the trio’s higher voices by shouting a lower sound, don’tcha think?

Mandragoras can also be used to attack. The symbol of ('''death''') caused by hearing a scream is too good not to use.



The Aspect of ('''Admiration''') was ATU ('''0123'''). In other words the Wolf and the Young Goats. That is the story of the ('''young goats''') opening the door for and being eaten by a wolf pretending to be their ('''mother''').

You can use that to make magic that knocks someone out if they answer your call. Viocia, note that I didn’t use your names when I called out to you. I simply told you to “take this”.

I did panic a bit when Arbamini ignored my call toward the end. I didn’t want to take their lives.



The Aspect of Amorality was a curse made by intentionally ('''mistreating''') a tool. That’s a standard of the Black Mass. And I used it for targeting support based on the fundamental law of ('''curses''') that says two things will continue to affect each other even at a distance once they come into ('''contact''').



The end. Any questions, Viocia. And Melehe too since you’re here?






Yagoro: This one was all about voice and prophecy magic. As long as you have the mandragora, you can fight back.

Melehe: So distance was all you needed. It’s so simple once you know the trick.

Yagoro: Witches tend to use tricks like that. Facing them head on is just playing into their hand, don’tcha think?
